Dang! Another freaking kidney stone

Ultrasound is only used to locate the stone... the method of breaking them up is Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). Say that three times.
Uses shock waves to break up a area pinpointed.

Passed a small one just before Christmas... some of lifes little treasures.. blah !

I have stuck to a pretty good regiement of diet... and still get them. Mine are Calcium based mostly. There are literally hundreds of things that can cause them... Coffee, teas, soda, etc.. The worse one is Hereditary. Which you can do nothing about. Your body just creates them because your body doesnt like calcium.

Get a prescrition of Flowmax as it opens the path. Also have a stand by of Codine, or lots of Ibuprofen. Lots. Get me through each time. Pain is manageable now cuz I know when they are coming.

Good luck to all.
